The Golden Nuts

This place is AMAZING and the staff were so friendly and welcoming!! Is it as good at it looks? Yes it is. The kind gentleman making the baklava gave us samples and went above and beyond. Seriously my favorite store that I've found in the Twin Cities. Just GO!

I am so incredibly happy that a middle eastern dessert shop has opened up in the metro area! The shop is massive with many middle eastern desserts, sweets, drinks, and now a recently opened ice cream/cafe area. There are a bunch of tables to sit down and enjoy your sweet treats, and the workers are always incredibly kind :)My personal favorite is the kunafa, they let you decide between more soft and cheesy, or a little bit cooled and harder. I personally like it a bit harder, but why not try both! They'll also add a sweet syrupy top.Also has the popular Dubai chocolate bar, probably the best one I've had in the metro.

You could easily spend an hour checking out the variety of things they have to offer. From freshly made mediterranean/middle-eastern treats, to imported goods, you can let your curiosity run free. Lots of different Baklava options, sweet treats, Dubai chocolate and many more things. If you try the Dubai chocolate, know that it has a crispy/crunchy center, so be prepared for some serious texture. Service was very friendly and quick, and the place was clean and inviting.

We finally made our way to The Golden Nuts to try the Dubai Chocolate bars. They offer two varieties: original and cookie butter, so we tried both as well as some baklava. The chocolate was thicker than anticipated, but the crunch of the filling was light and satisfying. The baklava had plenty of layers of phyllo and a small amount of filling. It was a bit challenging to navigate as the prices were not clearly posted. Overall, we spent about $20 for 2 Dubai chocolate bars and 6 pieces of baklava.

Stopped hear recently after having some great food at the buffet next door. Was very impressed with the beautiful atmosphere and layout of the store. Everything is open and accessible. My kiddos loved building their own candy bags and I enjoyed learning about all the baked goods as well as taking some recommendations from the very polite staff.Loved my experience and will be back to try more as I did not get any spices or nuts.

I've been to Golden Nuts 2 times and both times were amazing! The staff creates such a welcoming atmosphere and handed us samples each time. I'm a big fan of Turkish delights so I mainly come here for that and try to grab different items to try each time. The Turkish delights are really good and fresh, they have their premade ones individually wrapped, or fresh ones on the counter next to the chocolates. Their chocolate Dubai bars are insane! If you're a fan of crunchy/crispy things, highly recommend trying this out. We also tried Kunafa for the first time and it was really good! Highly recommend this place. Kicking myself because I don't have any pictures of these treats!!

It was only my first visit, but I liked it and would return. It's a large space with lots of seating in the back, and being in a strip mall there was a good amount of parking. The two employees I interacted with were extremely kind and welcoming. I specifically went for Turkish delights, but turns out they also had: chocolate sold by the pound, fresh confections, nuts. foreign brands chips/drinks/cookies, fancy coffee pots, serveware, diffusers, and soooo much more.I haven't tried my Turkish delights yet, but got a pre-assemble pack of 10 varieties (also sold individually). I'm told that some days there's up to 28. Anyway, I'm glad I checked it out (following dinner at the Mediterranean buffet a few doors down).

So glad I found this place on Tik Tok!! Everyone is super nice and inviting; we've been here many times and always look forward to it! Yesterday we ended up getting baklava and Dubai chocolate, it was awesome because they put my name on the large bar. So cool!! We'll be back of course!!

What an incredibly cool place! It's a beautiful space when you first walk in with a great housewares market up front and long counters filled with fabulous treats! Nuts, snacks, ALL the Baklava, your heart desires, and beautiful Turkish delight and macaroons. An awesome selection of gummy candy as well!! You owe it to yourself to visit! It was pretty busy when we were there on Saturday evening, which I thought was awesome! Very nice owner and staff as well!

Stopped by The Golden Nuts last weekend and was blown away. It is a middle eastern store featuring a massive selection of fresh baked pastries including knafe and baklava, along with a billion types of nuts, teas, coffees, and Turkish delights. In addition, they offer a bunch of miscellaneous stuff as well.I decided to stop in after I had lunch, so I came in to pick up some pastries. I ended up getting knafe (crispy) and the white desert pictured which I do not know the name of. This is definitely a store and not a restaurant, so don't expect to come in and sit down to eat. However, they have a massive selection of fresh, house made pastries.The knafe was fantastic, super sweet and crispy. This was my first time having knafe so I have nothing to compare to but I highly recommend trying it.The white dessert was even better than the knafe, it was incredible. I wish I knew the name, but if you see it in the store - definitely get a piece.All the deserts are sold be weight, and can definitely get pricey if you're very hungry when you come in.The staff are all super friendly and even gave me a small cup of coffee/tea while I was checking out. There is a bit of a language barrier when it comes to the specific differences between the items, but they were all very kind and let you sample.Overall, highly recommend checking out this cool, new shop!
